I'm allowed to laugh, I have jockeys in the family.

Had to take the photos quick though - I didn't want to be caught taking photos in a public convenience. That would be bad.

The bridge at Rucker's Hill was full of people taking photos of it.
As we stood looking, at least three cars pulled up on the bridge; their drivers leaping out - cameras in hand - to capture the moment.

All I had to hand was my trusty Nokia N82...

Took a drive down the coast to Black Rock today. Unfortunately the 30
degree days of earlier in the week had passed and we had to make do
with a windy 22.
It was still nice to feel the sand between our toes and scoff (fish
and) chips on the beach though. :)

You just see Melbourne CBD in the background on the third picture.

We've been trying to lure the local lorikeets into the garden in anticipation of the 'rents making their first visit to Australia in a few weeks time.
So far, it seems to be working... :)

They show the family on their way to Southampton (where they caught their ship to Australia), their farm at Arundel Grange, and their house at the Brown Coal Mine (Yallourn North, Victoria).

OK, so now I've got a Google Wave account; only I don't know anyone else who does - so I've got no-one to 'wave' at.
Anyone want an invite ?

Just got some natty venetians for the bug.
Hopefully, they'll go some way toward keeping the sun out and turning
the old girl into an oven in the upcoming summer...
